The Child That I Was

The child that I was once,
Was a much pampered one
One who thought life would be always
Like it used to be, surrounded on all sides
By love, care, comfort and accompaniment!

The child that I was, hated her school, 
Merely because she was too much of an introvert
Unable to open her mouth to friends in her class
Unable to lift up her eyes to glance at the teacher
Unable to even walk comfortably on busy roads!

The child that I was, had an early fright of life
Wanting to be always hand held,
Shuddering at the mere thought of someday,
Having to be and to behave, as an adult would!
Why, the child wanted to remain as one, forever!

The child that I was, wanted to work as a book creator
Though such was blurry in her mind, hovering as a cloud would
Yet, she let herself fancy the lives of princesses saved by princes
All being so charming, all promising a stability as would one feel
In a God constructed bubble, in which one would only love and live!
